In this session we will explore equanimity and empathic joy, in the context of the four heartitudes, Buddha’s love in action, and find our own ways of enlightened activity. Empathic joy, mudita, is the oft-overlooked brahmavihara – and yet, powerful and ever-present as we look into the essence. Equanimity or upeksha, not reactive karmic activity, is stabilized, affirmed through empathic joy or mudita. Equanimity - balance, dynamic presence, rather than sluggishness - informs loving kindness. As informed by prajna wisdom, each undergirds the others. Equanimity, loving kindness, compassion and empathic joy make up the heart engine of BuddhaDharma. Session #3 ~ Remaining Balanced in a Topsy-Turvy World: Equanimity (upeksha) and Empathic Joy (mudita) The Four Faces of Buddha’s Love – the divine heartitudes or brahmaviharas - are recognized as boundless, indispensable, and co-creative. BuddhaNature as potential and BuddhaNature as innate or immanent, ever present and accessible: the oak tree within the acorn. These are the two facets of bodhicitta, the heart of the bodhisattva, the heart of the Buddha, the engine of the great vehicle, Mahayana. What does it mean to be more transparent to and live out our innate BuddhaNature, our original goodness, our best Self? Neither the absolute reality, emptiness, sunyata, nor the relative reality of compassionate manifestations and karma - neither is complete without the other. Observing the ‘whole great catastrophe’, as Zorba said, while participating in the divine dance. This is the great Way, the truth, and the life.
Just being, nothing doing, at ease and in harmony. C oming home at last, seekers become finders.
Together, let’s take up the joy cry of the Natural Great Perfection - f inding ourselves, awakening and being more transparent to our true Selves, to pre - and spontaneous process.
